| Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen Check out "Beck's Bolero" which features Keith Moon, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. It was recorded when Mr. Beck was still with or had just left the Yardbirds. Also Ron Wood's bass tone is fabulous. Live he played a Fender Telecaster bass wit... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium I'm being picky, but using the term "high end mid-fi system" basically downgrades anything else you stated. High end is a marketing term. Mid-fi is another marketing term. You then tie them to snob appeal? To me it's non-sensical. Other than ... | |

| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? @bdp24 I agree with your comments. Big labels recording top orchestras with an all analog chain takes us back 40 to 50 years ago. Times have changed. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? There actually are classical recordings where the orchestra or ensemble are playing in a real auditorium and the engineers use what audiophiles call purist recording techniques. They exist and they are rare. Most classical recordings involve mul... | |
